Michelle Obama
Exercise is really important to me - it's therapeutic. So if I'm ever feeling tense or stressed or like I'm about to have a meltdown, I'll put on my iPod and head to the gym or out on a bike ride along Lake Michigan with the girls.
Michelle Obama
Walk away from 'friendships' that make you feel small and insecure, and seek out people who inspire you and support you
